We divide 990848 by 2
Our goal is to divide 990848 by 2.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 2 fits into 19 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 495.0
Subtracting 10 from 10 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 8 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4954.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 4 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49542.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 495424.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 495424.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 495424.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 495424.0 with a balance of 0.0.
